    • At the yard, right next to the kitchen, there is a traditional handmade wood oven and a barbecue for the ones who want to experience food cooked on wood-fire.

    • On the front and side yards, you will find an outside stone sink for curating and preparing meat for the barbecue and outside furniture for sunbathing or enjoying an afternoon beverage. Late at night, light pollution is minimal and the sky is beautiful.

    • You will be able to pick fully fresh organic fruits from the lemon, apricot and apple tree that you will find in our garden. Trees blossom during springtime and at summer are loaded with juicy fruits.

    That is of course if there are any left since our previous guests may have eaten them all. In that case, you can find all that you need at the near villages of Spilia and Kolympari where there are many local farmers, fishermen, and butchers offering the most exquisite of Cretan products.

    Our house is located at one of the most famous villages of Kissamos prefecture, Drakona, at the west part of Chania city, just some kilometers away from the beaches of the North part of the island.

Unser Aufenthalt in dem Haus von Aristea und Kostas war perfekt. Die Terrasse und der Garten des Hauses sind ein absoluter Traum. Für uns als Reisende mit Kleinkind haben die Katzen (leben nur draußen) und die Schildkröte im Garten den Aufenthalt noch unkomplizierter gemacht. Besonders hervorzuheben ist aber die Herzlichkeit, mit der Aristea und Kostas uns empfangen haben. Sie waren immer erreichbar, stets hilfsbereit und vor allem unglaublich großzügig, indem sie uns etwa selbstgepresstes Olivenöl in der Unterkunft hinterlassen haben, genauso wie Obst aus den eigenen Gärten und weitere selbstgemachte Kleinigkeiten. Es war ein Geschenk dort wohnen zu dürfen.

Ein sehr schönes Objekt. Alles was man zum entspannen in ländlicher Umgebung braucht. Alles was zum wohnen erforderlich ist ist auch vorhanden. Wir haben uns im Urlaub selten so wohlgefühlt. Die Gastgeber sind außerordentlich sympathisch, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Einfach nur nette, herzliche Menschen. Dieses Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank für alles , liebe Anistea und lieber Kostas. Es war traumhaft bei euch.

Hervorragend

Exzellente Gastgeber, Vermieterin spricht fließend deutsch, das Ferienhaus ist sehr, sehr sauber und gepflegt und hat eine unbeschreibliche Atmosphäre mit liebevollen Details im Haus und Garten. Für Urlauber in Westkreta ist das Haus nur zu empfehlen. In ein paar Minuten hat man die Schnellstraße erreicht, und von da aus sind alle Ziele der Umgebung gut zu erreichen. Flughafen Chania ist ca. 30 Minuten entfernt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden gerne wieder kommen.
